The little boat tossed on the choppy waters of the bay as the old man demonstrated a simple reef knot to his grandson. The young lad watched entranced as the old man’s gnarled fingers once again worked their magic.

Scant yards away the shark, lost and hungry after a long journey through unknown waters, tracked the large beast. It had broken such beasts before. Hard and tasteless on the outside, it knew that these beasts always contained tasty morsels of flesh within. It had only to break the shell.

The shark altered its course towards the boat and increased speed.
